Cramptonmy guess would be US sizes as the women's boot is available in size 6.5 to 10 and according to the size table the women is not available in UK 10.
and educated guess, but a guess none the less.
I would buy Zamberlan which are made in Italy. Vasque is now just a made in China brand unfortunately so I would never in a million years even pay for a discounted pair of their expensive shoes. I guess most people would never realize this though.
JamesXDanner and Vasque don't excite me, but Lowa or Scarpa certainly would. I'm guessing your best chances would be with Kayland or AKU, both great boots with minimal US presence.
mattypOne would think MD learned their lesson with the Carmina US/UK sizing debacle, but that is clearly not the case. This is just downright poor management. They will continue to be a fringe player unless they get their act together. Hopefully, they view this as constructive criticism, rather than anything else.
As far as this drop, given the conversion chart, I'd say you are ordering UK sizes; but who the hell knows for sure.
Did anyone else get sent the wrong size? It says quite clearly in the drop that sizing is in UK sizes, so I ordered a size 13, presuming (since they warned us) that meant UK size 13 (US size 14). They sent UK size 12 (US size 13)! I hope I don't have to pay for the return as I'm in Australia and that's expensive.
dozerSalewa makes a green and a blue version, but they don't have so much stock of it in the US. I'll see if we can make those available on the next drop. Thanks for the suggestion.
I just ordered a pair in 9.5. After reading other comments, I agree that there isn’t clarity between UK and US sizes. When I chose my size, the drop down did not specify US/UK. If anyone knows if these are in US, please let me know.
@DannyMilks Are these UK or US size? I'm about to order but confused after reading @wfdTamar 's review. Moreover I have the mid width feet and usually wear US 8 for trail running shoes and US 8.5 for winter shoes with Gore-tex lining & wool socks. I'm going to order 8(I presume it's UK sizing) in this drop. Am I right?
